I have the CCW 505's and was running the Pirelli pzero 305/30/19's. I just bought new tires all the way around, this time going to the Yokahama Advant Sports... They are the same size Supposedly (305/30/19) but they look and measure wider then the Pirellis. Has anyone used these or has anyone measured their non OEM oversized tires... these are BIG !!
What size rim are you running? All tires vary even the same size. I run into undersized ones all the time. I just put a set of 305s on my car replacing 335s and there is not much difference, the 305s are more like 315s
11.5 on the rears... I just looked up the specs and the section width on the pirellis that are coming off are 12.1 wide and the new yoko's are 12.7...ughhh hope they fit ok
What tires did you put on? do you know what they measured? in width?

Mine are also going on 11.5s, Nitto RII road race tires, I think they are 12.5 when mounted, whereas the sidewall buldge made the 335s only 12.4

Hi guys, I just put them on this past weekend and they fit great (very close but no rubbing at all). At first I was concerned if they would stick out a little...and maybe they do 1/4" .. but they look great now that the suspension is starting to settle back down.. I went for a drive last night and was blown away. These tires are sooo smooth, and grip great !! I cant get over how smooth the ride is...BLOWN AWAY !!
Notice to the CCW/Pirelli users... yes I had the Pzeros on mine prior and you can tell right away the difference...at least I could

I was unhappy with my Pirelli's as well...especially for the cost!
Its what made me look around....oh ya...and the fast wear on them !!
I liked how the Pirellis handled (warmed up on dry roads) but the above two factors need to be considered for me as well... I'll come back and update the wear and warm weather track grip on these tires. But early indication....LOVE THEM
